RE: Printer Configuration Not Working

["Jerry C. Adams" <midrange@xxxxxxxx>]

Sorry.  Forgot to mention in my previous reply that the protocol that the
Windows definition is using is "Raw".  Not sure what that means, but there
it is.

Look at the Windows port configuration that you are successfully using. You
might be LPRing to the printer and not have an open port and/or it may not
be 9100.

Vern,

I didn't state it, but on my first try that is what I did; i.e., let the
CRTDEVD auto-create the output queue.  Same results/problems.

Hi Jerry

Since you are creating a true device, I'd say that you should not create 
the remote OUTQ - the OUTQ will be created automatically, as when you 
create a local device.

In fact, your OUTQ is only local - not a remote OUTQ - therefore, it is 
probably deeply in conflict with the device. Get rid of the CRTOUTQ, my 
friend!
